Thank you all so much for your words. Today was a rough day pain wise, but you're all right, I will focus on my good days. I've read wonders about coconut oil, I'll do some more research, maybe it could work for me too. I already use it on my psoriasis, but it if helps with anything else, I'm all for natural cures. Thanks…

Amazing! Congratulations! I'm on the same journey with about the same amount of weight to lose! God bless and keep it going!

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense!! :)

Okay, I think I know what happened. I got a message saying that I had lost over 10lbs so MFP was going to adjust my goals. When I changed the number of workouts, it also adjusted for my weight loss. Still, I figured since I've lost I should be eating less not more. Too confusing, lol! Guess, I'll keep doing what I've been…

No, all I did was change the number of workouts per week.

I didn't mean activity levels. MFP asks you how many times a week you plan to exercise when you first fill in your goals. I started off with 3 times a week, but have increased it to 5 times a week. When I did this, the calories I have to eat per day also increased. I always leave at least 100 calories left over per day to…

This doesn't answer my question....can you explain?

By the way, these are the things I've been doing to get fit, besides counting calories with MFP... I started with Wii Just Dance, yes Wii!! I would dance for 30-45 minutes at least 4x a week. Then I got the Wii Zumba World Party (love it! real people, great music, great scenery). Zumba gets your heart pumping...a real good…

That's great! So happy for you! You look amazing!

LOL! I know, had me cracking up too! Very observative, jeje

THANK YOU ALL FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT AND KIND WORDS! WE GOT THIS, RIGHT!! "I think you got Shorter O_O. Just Jk. Yeah I can see a difference. Keep it up.-" Lol, I thought the same thing when I saw my pics! jeje

JUST KEEPING GOING! SLOW PROGRESS IS BETTER THAN NO PROGRESS! WE CAN DO THIS!

Okay, was finally able to add my progress picture! Wish, MFP had an easier way to add our photos!

[/URL] So, here's an update on my progress. Shortly after I posted my fitness progress in April '13, I began having lots of abdominal pain and bloating, so much that my workouts had to come to a halt. I visited my OBGYN and found I had lots of fibroid tumors, which were causing the bloating and pain. I was a little…

Sorry, trying to figure out how to post the picture!

That's awesome! I'm 5"6" too and have lost 27lbs. Want to lose about 45 more. May I ask what was your starting weight?

Thank you! You are all wonderful and I love how we can motivate each other.

No worries about the TP...the reserve is right below, left bottom corner of the picture. LOL!!!

Thank you all. It's a long road ahead, but like someone said, slow and steady wins the race. We can do this!

I agree, a cheat day is good. You don't feel deprived and I've heard that having a cheat day gets your metabolism going. Great job on losing the 10lbs!

You look amazing! Congratulations! Great motivation for us beginners!

WOW! Great job!

That's awesome! I too am a size 14/16 now. I've lost 24 lbs. since I started MFP and I hope to be a size 6/8 some day. I've never been a one digit size....well not since I was a child! Thanks for sharing your journey and for motivating us to do it too!

Awesome! Congrats and keep it going!
